Our trip to Tikal was an unforgettable experience—a true paradise of Mayan wonders and vibrant jungle wildlife. Our guide, Elmer, made the experience even more special with his deep knowledge, engaging storytelling, and genuine kindness. Highly recommended for anyone seeking adventure and culture in the heart of the jungle!

Unfortunately we didn't see a real sunrise, but it was still absolutely worth it. Tikal in the dark and the awakening of the jungle were really spectacular. I would definitely recommend getting up early. Transport was OK, guide was good...

Great tour, our guide Alberto was very knowledgeable and was able to name all the animals + all the history of the place. The lunch was also really good.

Our guide was very knowledgeable. Good value for the cost. Transportation was great. Easy instructions. Guide offered English and Spanish.

Amazing experience! It was the highlight of our trip.
